POST WEDDING MARRIAGE LICENSE INFORMATION

Legal paperwork can be so confusing, but we are here to make it simple! Once you are married you will need additional documents that show proof that your Las Vegas wedding is legitimate. These documents aren’t automatically shipped to you because there is a fee for this paperwork that every couple will need. There are three primary documents that are available after your wedding. One EVERYONE will need and the next two are on a case by case basis. Below we explain each document so you can determine which are right for you.

Certified Las Vegas Marriage Certificate | Everyone will need this!

After you are married, you will need this document to change your name and for every other major purpose. Simply put, this is the main document you need. It is required by the DMV, Social Security, INS (Immigration & Naturalization Service) adoption services.

What we can do is order this for you on the day of the wedding for an additional fee and before you know it it will be in your mailbox. All you have to do is add this to your wedding package when you check out. There will be an option for you when you make the reservation. 

Certified Las Vegas Marriage License | NOT Everyone will need this!

The Certified Las Vegas Marriage License is required for people who’ve been married more than once and wish to change their name. It is also required for military purposes and INS (Immigration & Naturalization Service) and adoption services. The Certified Las Vegas Marriage License by itself will not serve as proof of your marriage. If you need this document, you will also need the above document, the Certified Las Vegas Marriage Certificate.

What we can do is order this for you on the day of the wedding for an additional fee and before you know it it will be in your mailbox. All you have to do is add this to your wedding package when you check out. There will be an option for you when you make the reservation.

 

 

Apostille | ALL Foreign Citizens WILL need this!

An Apostille and a Certified Las Vegas Marriage Certificate are generally accepted as proof of marriage by most countries. However, we recommend you check with your local officials to ensure the right documents are obtained for your marriage to be recognized in your country. A Certified Las Vegas Marriage certificate is required to facilitate the production of an Apostille. For that reason, one is included in the price and comes with your Apostille order.

What we can do is order this for you on the day of the wedding for an additional fee and before you know it it will be in your mailbox. All you have to do is add this to your wedding package when you check out. There will be an option for you when you make the reservation.
